The Ohio Confederation of Clubs (COC) goal is to preserve 'Basic Constitutional Motorcyclist Rights' through educational seminars and public awareness. Additionally, we create a national and statewide voice to protect our lifestyle. In alignment with our National COC we are able to educate our members and the public on a broader level. Furthermore, we provide support for issues that will impact our lifestyle, such as, safety projects, biker anti-discrimination bills, and legislation to name just a few. With the assistance of our Ohio COC constituency, we intend to pursue the constitutional rights of our members and restore the freedoms our fore fathers fought so hard for.

National Motorcycling Profiling Survey (NMPS)

Recently, the National Motorcycle Profiling Survey 2015-2016 concluded and the results definitively demonstrate that motorcycle profiling is an epidemic in America. Many motorcyclists in America have been targeted based on appearance, not behavior. The NMPS 2015-2016 is 99% reliable with only a 1.4% deviation. The 2016-2017 NMPS is intended to more accurately define profiling trends so resources and attention can be focused on the areas that need it the most. As the movement to end motorcycle profiling continues to gain momentum, statistical data and demographic information are an important tool in the efforts to obtain legislative relief across the country. Please take the time to take the survey.

Note: NO PERSONAL DATA IS REQUIRED! YOUR PRIVACY AND ANONYMITY ARE IMPORTANT AND RESPECTED. By asking for no more than your zip code and email, which is completely voluntary, there is no personal information to maintain or protect. Participation is critical and will have long lasting, positive impacts on the community. Remember. Silence is consent. To begin the survey please click the “NEXT” button in the box below. Thank you!
